Please read the article linked below. What an unconscionable travesty that our legislators did not pass the legislation that would make it impossible for this kind of abuse and maltreatment to continue in our state.

Here is the front page story by Phaedra Haywood in the New Mexican on Friday May 30th about the ICE prison in Estancia just 69 miles south of Santa Fe.  The private prison (CoreCivic) is under contract with ICE and with Torrance County.  Conditions are inhumane, cruel and unsanitary.  People are being arrested by ICE on the East Coast and sent here in secrecy.  The newspaper story is attached here in case you missed it.  

Detention center population grows
